2017 Gateway
Keeping the party going, here’s a look at the 2017 Gateway from Cult. This bike starts out with a frame that has a chromoly front triangle with a 1020 Hi-Ten steel rear triangle and a 20.5″ top tube length. This bike comes with two-piece bars versus 4-piece bars like we saw on the Devotion and Control bikes and a 1020 Hi-Ten steel fork. The rest of the bike is decked out with a few Cult aftermarket parts as well.

The 2017 Gateway comes in three colors; black, translucent red and Silver with a 20.5″ top tube length and a price tag of $399.99. This is a great bike for the slightly smaller rider just starting to get into BMX that is looking for a dialed bike without a heavy price tag.
Please note that the bike will actually come in silver instead of raw, which is shown here.
